It wasn't too bad but you probably won't be able to do it alone. There's a bunch of plastic cutting you'll have to do. I used a Bosch oscillating cutter. I tried almost every brand and theirs was the only one that didn't raise a huge plastic burr from cutting.

I'm planning to put a three footer on this year and have it tuned like I did the one I have now. I'll keep the longer one for awhile just in case. I've been told that mounting it on the front bumper is the best way but when it's plastic there just isn't anywhere to put it.

Looks really good but seems like a lot of work for someone who is not that crafty like myself.

mounting the antenna outside on my KK to the metal is what is keeping me from the CB world

why? Its technically not outside, the drill points anyways... Mine are inside the door jam and a few others have put there's inbetween the light housing and the body mounting the screws upward to avoid having it rub on the tailgate door potentially. You could always get those magnetic antennas and run the cabling the same way and up the tailgate onto the roof. Thats what i did for my Fire/EMS radio, no drilling or holes involved.
